KJ Stowers Expository Writing Whitaker 10/19/2015 Review
Undefeated Review There is a school called Manassas High School. They were horrible in football for 6 years in a row. They tried hard to have a winning season, but they failed every year. The football head coach, Bill Courtney never gave up on his team because he wanted his players to stay out of trouble and never give up on life. He tried to make them become good men and prepare them for the real world. Bill Courtney grew up without a father. His father left him when he was four years old. A lot of coach bill's players did not have parents that attended college, but they had parents who were behind bars. This is why coach bill cared so much about his players and what they would be in life after graduating high school. Despite that fact, Manassas had a team full of poor black kids.
The movie really focus on three characters throughout the whole movie. Their names are Chavis, O.C., and Money. Chavis had a big impact of the team downfall be he always brought a negative vibe to their team. He always got into arguments and fights with majority of the players on the team, and he was disobedience to the coaches. After their first lost into the following season after the six horrible season, Coach Bill had a long talk with the team and they started practicing harder than they ever practiced. Chavis was adjusting well with the rest of the team. He was always thinking about himself. Chavis ended up departing from the team for a few days.
After that, Manassas went on a winning streak. I guess he thought the team was going to do keep losing without him. A few games into the season, Chavis decided to apologize to the team and become a member all over again. He was on a temporary suspension before he could play on the field again. Money was the smallest lineman on Manassas football team. He was the most physical one of them all. He was also the smartest one. He wanted to take football to another level as well as being a lawyer. In the middle of the season, Money messed up his knee and the doctor told him that he had to sit out eight to twelve weeks before he could play football again. Money didn't like the doctor's response but he still obeyed the doctor. O.C. was an all American but at the same time, He wasn't an all American. He had the skills on the football field. He just didn't have the skills in the classroom. He had bad grades and he couldn't go to college with the grades he had. College recruiters from just about every university were sending him letters everyday trying to get him to play football on the next level. O.C.'s family told him that he had to quit football because he wasn't keeping up with his grades. The coaches talked to O.C's family about him staying with one of the coaches and his family to help him improve on his grades. They tried their best to help him but he couldn't pass. Despite those facts about Chavis, O.C., zero games to winning like nine games straight. They ended up losing against Westview in the first round of the playoffs. I like how they went from a losing record to only losing two games. They accomplished a goal that they set in the beginning of the season. That goal was to make it to the playoffs. I dislike how they hand all of the slang in the movie. They could have edited the movie a little like they do any other movie. On a scale from 1-10, I rate this Undefeated an 8.It could've been a whole lot better than what it was. Another reason why i like this movie is because i like sports and this movie relates to a movie called "Hoop Dreams. The only difference is the sports in both of these movies.
